research suggests that engineering students do not leave solely because they are notperforming well academically [4], [6], [10] and that historically marginalized populations inengineering leave at higher rates [11]–[13]. Geisinger and Raman found six broad factors thatinfluence retention or attrition including: grades and conceptual understanding, student self-efficacy and confidence, interest and career goals, identity, and climate [3]. They found that overhalf of the studies they explored in their extensive literature review mentioned climate as a factorfor students’ leaving engineering programs.Climate includes the attitudes, perceptions, and expectations associated with an institution andcan be informed by interactions with individuals within
manufacturing pillars1.1 Product DesignProduct design is an integral part of manufacturing. Product Design is the process of definingproduct characteristics such as dimensions, appearance, materials, tolerances, etc. It starts withclearly defined customer needs, which are translated into measurable target specifications.Concepts of the product will then be generated, selected, tested, and final specificationsdetermined. For a product to make its way successfully to the market, various aspects of designneed to be carefully analyzed and modeled. One main advantage of computer modeling in product design is that various tests can beperformed on the model that are otherwise dangerous or costly to be done on actual products. Mostreal-life systems are
with experienced researchers in a Community of Practice (e.g.,faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students in a laboratory setting). Outcomes ofthese experiences include increased STEM knowledge and experience, scientific researchpractices, career awareness, and STEM self-efficacy and identity. RET programs typically aim tosupport translation of research into classroom practices through curricular development by aProfessional Learning Community, which leads to improvements in STEM teaching andlearning, and includes outcomes such as increased persistence in STEM teaching andpedagogical content knowledge (Krim et al., 2019).The Berkeley Engineering Research Experiences for Teachers plus Data Science (BERET+D) isan example of one such
primaryconstructs influencing their choice: self-efficacy, expectations and personal goals.From a student’s perspective, a lack of sufficient knowledge about various majors along with commonuniversity requirements to declare a major before or during their first year presents a series ofchallenges. Issues that arise from choosing a major they later desire to opt out of can delay graduationby a year or more. Consequent costs of an ill-fitting choice in majors can go beyond additionalcoursework and financial setbacks to include social-emotional considerations such as degrading theirself-confidence and sense of belonging, particularly in the engineering field.Further studies on first year engineering programs highlight a trend where in-coming students showhigh
EngagementWell supported academic makerspaces provide students with open access to resources that helpthem develop their problem-solving skills, provide opportunities for collaboration, increase self-efficacy, and develop sense of belonging [9, 10]. Sense of belonging generally relates to self-perceptions of fit within a given context and has been well established as a theoretical constructthroughout the literature [11, 12]. The context in question can be formal, such as an educationalsetting or STEM discipline, or informal, such as friendships or affinity groups. The positiveimpacts of a strong sense of belonging on academic achievement and persistence in STEMmajors are well documented [13-15]. When students interact in positive ways with diverse peers

A growing sense of project ownership helps students become more tolerantof obstacles and to persevere when facing challenges (Ryoo & Kekelis, 2018; Corwin, Graham,& Dolan, 2015) which in turn increases students’ self-efficacy and motivation (Corwin et al.,2015), encourage students to pursue a long-term career goals in science (D.

Students can judge their abilities only to the extent that they are exposedto a topic since they do not know the threshold for a learning outcome. Therefore, repeating thosequestions in the post-camp revealed some insights.Figure 7: (a) Choice of major pre-camp survey (N=24), (b) Choice of major post-camp survey(N=36) In the two surveys, students were asked to rate their skills on a scale of 1-10 in response to thefollowing four prompts: 1.

empirical studies which utilized this framework within engineering (2021b).Similarly to CCW, almost all studies included in their review were qualitative, with only onequantitative and one mixed-method study (Verdín et al., 2019). The studies were grouped bycharacteristic, with the authors identifying the following codes: identification, curriculum,teaching, and learning. Again, the authors identified gaps, including “assessing the efficacy offunds of knowledge interventions on students by connecting to student learning outcomes ortheories of identity, self-efficacy, and belonging.” They briefly identified funds of knowledge aspotentially more action oriented than CCW and other frameworks (Denton & Borrego, 2021b).Building upon that potential

Erol et al., 2016 introduces “Industry 4.0” as a phenomenon that needs increasing workers’creativity, innovation, and communication skills, as automated systems are going to be replacedby day-to-day activities [20]. Upon this, they have defined three categories for workforcecompetencies: personal, professional, and social competencies. Self-efficacy, personalresponsibility, critical thinking, adaptability, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to change(continuous improvement mindset) are examples of the personal competencies which weobserved numerous times in this study.

The pilot study was designed, and the implementation and assessment areunderway, with CE senior students developing a VR presentation as part of their Senior Designfinal project deliverables. The anticipated result is that the AR/VR training module will improvesenior students’ 3D visualization skills and self-efficacy. Additionally, it is expected that usingVR tools to create their final project presentation will increase their motivation and engagement.This study has an expandability potential.

This email contained an invitation toparticipate in the intervention program and a preliminary survey that students had to complete.The survey included questions about their interest in participating in the program, backgroundquestions related to their STEM experiences in high school, commitment to the major, as well asscales on STEM interest, self-efficacy, and perceptions of barriers and supports for completingtheir major.

MPSprogram sparked an important educational paradigm shift from content specific knowledge togeneral problem-solving ability [1].Expanding upon ideas in the McMaster program, Leland et al. [2] stated that when students learnnew content, they are typically tested only on the new content (through problems designed byeducators or coming from textbook resources). They argued that a more efficacious strategy wasto use cumulative review problems, which give students autonomy in their selection ofmathematical tools to utilize when solving a problem. Further, for successful transference ofskills, there are several important factors: self-efficacy, learning with understanding, and beliefs[2]. These factors are described as a student’s confidence in their

Tsenn also mentioned that the Fall2020 COVIDaffected class had an exciting increase in their overall project satisfaction score compared withthe year before. It was concluded that even though there were significant changes to the way thatthe class was instructed during 2020, the students were resilient and adaptable to the change, andthat left the instructors confident that regardless of the delivery method, all course outcomes
